OVEN.

Application filed August 31, 1922. Serial No. 585,359.

To all whom it' may concern Be it known that l, SUSIE T. HoLvAY, a citizen of the United States, residingr at 'Watta in the county of Los Angeles and "istat-e of California, have invented certain new and useful linprovements in an Oven; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact des :ip tion of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled l in the art to Which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to an oven.v

t is primarily aimed to provide an oven which may be heated from a single burner of a gas or other stove to enable baking merely from the heat provided by such single burner and in relatively close quarters, and in cases Where the stove has an U I oven, to provide the invention as smaller in ":J' size than the saine and heat-insulated so that it may be used instead of such oven, particularly in the summer, as less heat Will be radiated thereby.

lt is further aimed to provide a construction having a novel hood or cover section suitably heat-insulated, provided With a damper, adapted to be disposed on a base having a Vsupporting rack or shelf, and With the supporting means for the rack or shelf disposed so as to enable said rack and the material supported thereon to be evenly heated.

Servient objects and advantages Will become apparent from a consideration of 'the description following taken in connection With accompanying drawings illustrating one practical embodiment.

In saidv drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away;

Figure 2 is a plan view partly broken away, and

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view on the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

In reducing the invention to practice, a base section is provided as at 10 which has a continuous marginal upstanding flange 11 integral therewith. This base may be made of anyV suitable material, preferably metal, and therefrom a rack or shelf V12 is supported in raised relation, and in turn adapted to support a pan 0r other receptacle containing food or goods to be baked or heated Within the oven. Upstanding cleats 13 may be utilized to support the rack 12 from the base and they preferably have angularly bent ends at 14e and 15, respectively engaging and secured to the base and the shelf 12. Said cleats 13 are equidistantly spaced from each other and from the center of the base, so that the heat Will be evenly radiated Within the oven` particularly in view of the fact that the base 10 is adapted to be centrally' disposed on the burner or a single burner of a gas heat stove or other stove, in actual use. Said cleats 13 and the shelf 12 may be made of sheet metal similarly to the base 10.

A cover or hood section is provided for removable disposition on the base 10, and isL generally designated 16. This hood may be of any suitable construction. As shovvn it has a continuous side Wall 17 and a top Wall 18, and is open at its bottom or base. Said Walls 17 and 18 consist of an inner and outer layer 19 and 20, preferably of asbestos or other heat insulating material. The layers 19 and 2O are held in the shape shown by an intermediate skeleton metallic frame 21. f

Suitable vent openings are provided through the layers 19 and 20 at the top Wall 18, as at 22 and they are adapted to register With vent openings or ports 23 in a damper plate 24. Damper plate 24 is adapted for axial adjustment from a rivet or other pivot means at 25'Which secures the same to the Wall 18 and through which adjustment the openings 22 may be partially or completely closed. A manipulating lug 26 rises from the damper 24.

To facilitate handling or portage of the cover or dome 16, a handle 27 of any appropriate configuration is secured to the hood as at 28.

In use the base 10 is disposed over a burner ofV a gas or other stove, centrally, so as to be heated therefrom and a pan or receptacle containing the food or goods to be baked or heated is disposed on the rack or shelf 12. The hood 16, applied by means of its handle 27, is disposed on the base .10, removably, With the flange 11 surrounding the Wall 17. The damper 24k may be suitably adjusted to cooperate with the vent openings 22 according to the degree of heat inv the oven and as derived from the burner referred to. By means of this invention, a

`on, said cover having'layers of heat insuysingle burner of a gas or other stove may be utilized for baking purposes andk in s hotV Weather, an oven, smaller than the oven of a stove having one, may be supported Von Vone of its burners and Vused for baking purposes, with the radiation of less heat than would be the case with its own oven.`

As merely one practical embodiment has been illustrated and described,v it is to be understood that changes in the details may be resorted to provided they allwithin the spirit and scope of the invention.

I claim as my invention l. An oven havingl a base for applicationA of heat thereto a cover for dis osition therelating'inaterial to substantially compose it, and a reinforcing frame between. said layers Yof substantially skeleton. form.
